The notion of one versatile scope with reducer/flattener/extender options has some appeal. ie: Tak TOA-130, Tak FSQ-106 etc. but it seems that the FL needs to be >700mm to suit the sensors 6 micron pixels.

What do you guys think?

Hi Andy,

Given the constraints you've mentioned then both Taks would seem excellent choices, esp. with extenders, also in the classifieds there is a SkyRover 130mm f/5 with largish image circle.

BTW: I just checked if it's the QSI 6162, you may not be that badly off in terms of image circle issues as it does not have a FullFrame (43.3mm diagonal) sensor, but rather a 34.6mm diagonal sensor. So who knows you may get by. It's certainly worth a try with your existing gear.

Best
JA
